1974 Map of Doerun

About this map

The Georgia Northern railroad forms the industrial backbone of this South Georgia landscape, passing directly through the community of Doerun and connecting the rural outposts of Ticknor and Pritchetts. Along this corridor, the transition from Colquitt to Worth and Mitchell counties is marked by a steady rhythm of family-named landmarks and rural institutions. Significant genealogical sites are scattered across the terrain, including Smith Cem, Duncan Smith Cem, and Pitts Cem, while educational history is preserved at the Hillcrest Sch. The eastern edge of the map is defined by the Ochlockonee River, which creates a natural boundary against the more developed grid of the town center. Local spiritual life is well-documented with numerous houses of worship such as Liberty Hill Ch, New Light Ch, and Cool Springs Ch serving the outlying farmsteads.
